If someone has caught your interest, you know that you have to investigate the basics first. 

Do they like to travel to exotic high end places? Does their job title

include CEO? Do they have pictures posing with their luxury cars or homes? What fraternity/sorority did they pledge? (That’ll tell you so much.) Your standards are low-key high, if that

makes any sense.

When it comes to dating, you know what you want and you’re not keen on wasting your time.

If you don’t have to cross boundaries into the hood, why do it? If anything, the only time you visit the hood is when you have to cross back over

to visit family who you only associate with on certain holidays because...well, you don't want Bebe's kids all up in your house. #sacrifices

Whether it’s a watch party or a Friendsgiving, your friends can count on you to throw a bomb party with great wine and cocktails. The food never runs out and

neither do the drinks. #CountOnThat

“Where are we going for brunch?” is always the question that you fix your lips to ask. You’re always down for some turkey bacon, French toast, and a few mimosas

along with serious good convo.

Wine for lunch, wine for dinner, wine for dessert. Wine, wine, wine! You wouldn't be caught dead drinking beer. And you not only drink wine, you know how to properly

order the good stuff...not just any wine will do. 

You had a bad experience at the day party you and your girls hit up last weekend, so when they ask you if you’re down for another one, “I don’t

really do day parties anymore,” is the response.

Bougie 101 is walking into your buddie’s mother’s home to see that they have that huge framed picture of her in a Princess-like white gown with white gloves and the

works. 

No doubt about it, she's bougie.

This is how the waiters and waitresses make their money and you have the means to. Why wouldn’t you overtip?

Wait...does this mean we're bougie too?

Ashley and Jonathan won’t be discriminated against based on what their resumes reveal their names to be in the future. 

No, sir. You’ve made certain to ensure that. That’s been your strategy

before you even conceived.

Your homegirl calls you up irritated that her man came home late. You could tell before she even finished her sentence because she hit you with the, “Giiiirl, this Negro..” 

A

tell-tale sign that he was straight trippin’.
